It’s that time of the decade to look at a new computer solution.

I’m a rabid iPhone user, and have been since day one (literally). I’ve had a few iPads, and never felt they offered the versatility I had with the Surface Pro. I know...

Spectraview is the calibration tool and software the came bundled with the monitor.
The Spectraview icon in the dock is now a question mark and will not launch.

Does this mean the spectra view software is 32-/bit and can not/will not run under Mojave?

Does anyone know of a Mojave calibrator that works with NE under Mojave?

Are there any other calibration options under Mojave?
